CCC Newsletter # 09-18 Did you miss me?? My wife and I decided to take a little trip, packed up the motorhome and crossed the Mississip... saw great sights and made many a friend and after a hundred & twelve days the trip came to an end. Guess that sums it up.we were on the road for 112 days and between the motorhome,and the tow car we covered 12,699.5 miles, 9720.5 in the coach, and 2979 in the tow car. Most of that time we did not have wifi as we prefer state parks and dry camping to the fancy RV Resorts. As a result, we did very little email, and no web updates. My apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused to anyone. But I'm back now, and trying to de-compress, get caught up on yard work, bills, the website and a host of other things I need to do. So here we go, Car Shows! Army Corps of Engineers campsite, Land Between the Lakes, KY.

Now that I'm back and (almost) ready to go back to work, please submit shows to webmaster@californiacarclubs.com. Your best bet is to submit them in the format you see used in the newsletter. If you send a flyer only... well look at the really short listings, that's what you'll get. If you write it up yourself... well, look at the longer ones. In other words, write it yourself and say all you want hitting all the high points. I generally edit them only for obviouse typos and family friendly content. Disclaimer: If you wish to be removed from this newsletter distribution list, simply bounce it back with remove in the subject line. If you are not on the distribution list, and wish to be, send me an email or bounce this back with add me in the subject line. Till next month, happy motoring!
